The Howth Peninsula and Irelands Eye, Co. Dublin.
The island was often referred to as "Irelands Tear" as it was the last place seen by immigrants as they were leaving.

The thatched windmill in the small village of Tacumshane (Irish: Teach Coimseáin) was built in 1846 and was in operation until 1936 making it the last windmill in the Republic of Ireland to work commercially.
In 1952 it was restored and placed under monument protection.
In medieval times, the flat and windy landscape of South Wexford was dotted with these unusual structures.

The town of Lahinch sits on the western coastline of Ireland and is surprisingly known as a surfing town with a very good golf course!

This is National Tree Week here in Ireland {5th of March onwards} where we celebrate
our trees. We havent got many but thankfully since 2000 they have started planting more of our native hardwood species and less of those horrid Norway Spruce that block out light from the forest floor and prevent all the wonderful undergrowth, fungii and wild flowers from growing. Of course they are a commercial crop and vital for the economy. Indeed, Coilte, the forestry people here do great work as they allow access through there land and plantations to access the trails and mountain tracks which I love so much.
I dont think theres is anything more wonderful than Oak trees.
This tree which is an Irish Oak [Quercus Petraea] is reckoned to be over 400 years old and is growing in the Powerscourt Valley, near the waterfall here in Co. Wicklow. The ground and the humidity seems to suit them better than the more common English Oak [Quercus Robur] which are also magnificent trees.
I would really love to see more of your tree photos here on Flickr as the truly are such beautiful things.
Do hope you like it! Catch up with you later,

Lahinch on the west coast of Ireland is famous for its golf course but it is also very popular with the surfers.

Thanks to Nigel for the title! Clochan Pier, Mayo, Ireland - A revised edit of a photo posted back in November. Matching my mood today; pulled a groin muscle yesterday, and I'm sore and cranky.
